The National Commission for Women (NCW) has issued a final notice to actor Nora Fatehi, urging her to appear in person before the commission regarding the song 'Sarke Chunar Teri'. The commission has alleged that the song contains objectionable lyrics that compromise the dignity of women.
The NCW's hearing, chaired by Vijaya Rahatkar, took place on April 6, where lyricist Raqueeb Alam, director Prem, and representatives of KVN Productions appeared. Despite legal representation, the commission has insisted on Fatehi's personal appearance, setting April 27, 2026, as the deadline.
Concerns have been raised about the song's impact on society, prompting apologies and commitments from those involved to advocate for women's empowerment. The song has since been removed from YouTube following the backlash, as the commission seeks to address similar cultural issues.
